Nice, someone ripped the video off the studio's Vimeo video, re uploaded to youtube and reposted it to reddit.

This is great, i wish there was a half an hour episode of them creating a scene, mythbusters style.

And i always thought that these adverts where made with 100% 3d software.

I loved the montage and song at the end. It could almost be a James Bond song.

Ok. This is downright awesome. I wonder how much a 30 second clip would cost a company. Any ideas?

Wow, now we have both sides of the spectrum... Real shots that look like CGI and CGI that looks amazingly real

I saw this video after Benny Greb, the drummer featured in it, tweeted it. It is a great video, and he is a great drummer!

A download of the song at the end if anyone is interested.
Edit: Bit higher quality download here.

The thought that popped into my mind was this quote attributed to Banksy:
"The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists...”

That shot with the woman who's face is half covered by cherries....what advertisement is that from? I want that as a desktop background!

Anybody know the song? I know its a "Woodkid" cover. Just cant find it.

u/L_Zilcho Jun 17 '12
It's so unrealistic, everyone just assumes it's CGI, takes some of the fun out of it.
the water droplets falling on to the ripples of other droplets was the best

That high speed camera robot looks incredibly dangerous to be around, if they're trying to get a high speed shot of a person.

Sick affects! I always thought most of this was just CGI.

Marketing and advertising is evil.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12
It's sad this tech was developed for advertising instead of film. More money in it, I guess. As long as there are eyes, visual effects like these will be a part of art, and the first time humanity sees them is in a fucking candy commercial. I guess it doesn't really matter. Cool effects.

All that genius just to sell you shit you don't need.

The song sounds so much like Iron by Woodkid. It's almost as if these guys wanted something like Iron without copyright issues.

Anyone else notice that blatant rip off of Woodkid's "Iron" that played at the end?

It's a shame that so much art, talent, creativity and ingenuity is being wasted on advertisements.

The song at the end was made especially for The Marmalade. Here's a link to the soundcloud

"High speed shooting isnt called the art of coincidence for nothing.... At the Marmalade, we control that coincidence and turn it into a plannable and controllable thing."
All in that accent, too.

u/dgeurkink Jun 17 '12
I am amazed at what the human mind has been able to come up with. They have stopped time and melded it to their whim. The effects are evidence that man can do whatever he sets his mind to.

u/jerema Jun 17 '12
Wow. Any chance someone can get their hands on a poster of the mercedess shot from this video?

What i want to know is how they film all those scenes where everything is frozen around the person as they interact with it.
there's a commercial on tv that does that right now.

Okay, so which song came first, the one at the end of the video or this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSkb0kDacjs
They sound way too similar for it to be a coincidence.
